Welcome to The Menopause Disruptor Podcast, I’m your host, Mary Lee, a compassionate Menopause Doula and Licensed Menopause Champion in partnership with The Menopause Expert Group.

My mission is to challenge outdated narratives around menopause. The menopausal transition is a natural phase of life that deserves to be embraced, not stigmatized.


Reflecting on my own encounters with the lack gap in female hormonal health and leaning in on my experience in science communication and public relations practitioner, I decided the time is now to rewrite the script and bring truth and reliable resources to the forefront.

In each episode, I tackle taboo topics and disrupt the status quo on how we think, act, and treat menopause - peri to post. Join me in these informative conversations, either alone or with credible guest experts, as I dive into real, raw, and relatable discussions surrounding the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of aging.


It’s time to reclaim our voices and advocate for our health with confidence.
Midlife should be the best life, and it will be!

  • Harness the Balancing Energy of Gemini: A Meditation for Intuition and Mindfulness
    May 20 2026

    Today, I bring back the Goddess Journey meditation series with a new guided meditation for the wise woman's personal shift toward intuition, letting go of mental rumination, while integrating spiritual wisdom.

    You don't have to be a Gemini under a Sun or Moon sign to reap all the benfits of balancing dual forces that reside within each and every one of us.

    This journey will begin with storytelling of how I arrived back in a place of quiet reflection while taking a pause from pushing the play button on life, accepting the intuitive call to rest in the flow of life instead.

    This meditation calls for you to soak in stillness and allow what arrives in mind and body without pushing against it, judging, or analysing. Listeners will be guided through breathwork, nervous-system calming, and positive affirmations to cultivate heart-centre self-trust with intuition.

    Use this practice to begin your day, during a work break, or to gently close out your evening. Anytime of day is a beautiful time to return home to you.

  • What Midlife Women Needs to Know About Blood Sugar with Michelle Dwyer
    May 16 2026

    Feel like your body suddenly changed in midlife — increased belly fat, energy crashes, cravings, brain fog, disrupted sleep, or feeling like you’re “doing everything right” but nothing is working anymore — this episode is for you.

    In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by health coach Michelle Dwyer to unpack the critical connection between hormones, blood sugar, metabolism, stress, and overall health during perimenopause and menopause.

    Michelle shares her own personal healing journey after a prolonged illness led her to completely rethink health and wellness, eventually inspiring her to help women better understand their bodies with compassion instead of self-blame.

    Together we explore:

    • Why blood sugar regulation matters so much in midlife
    • How estrogen changes impact insulin sensitivity and metabolism
    • What A1C actually means and why women should pay attention to it
    • The role of muscle mass, protein, healthy fats, sleep, and stress
    • How continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) can provide personalized insight
    • Why health is about awareness and nourishment — not perfection

  • Menopause Joint Pain: What’s Really Causing It; Does Cortisone Injections Help with Stacey Roberts
    Apr 17 2026

    What if pain isn’t just “wear and tear”… and aging doesn’t have to hurt?

    In this episode, Mary sits down with physical therapist and nurse Stacey Roberts to unpack a completely different approach to pain-free living.

    After decades in traditional medicine, Stacey began questioning why so many patients weren’t getting better. What she discovered changes everything: pain isn’t just structural—it’s influenced by your brain, hormones, gut health, and even your mindset.

    We dive into her discovery of a non-invasive treatment, SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy (TRT) and why she became the first clinic to purchase one. She will also share the Pain-Free Formula and explain why common treatments like cortisone injections may not be the best solution we once believed.
